Hello and welcome.
My name is Stephen Grider.
I'm here to teach you everything I know about full stack react in redux of course in the section we're
going to go over a couple of quick administrative tasks.
I mean future oriented with a couple of things are going to do throughout this course and I'm going
to dive immediately into our project in the next section.
So just a tiny bit of administrative stuff right now I'm looking at a course resources document that's
hosted at on Google Drive.
Now the next lecture inside this course is going to be a Texas lecture and it's going to give you a
link directly to this document so you'll be able to review everything that's inside of here.
This document has a bunch of different helpful links and guides and all kinds of other different stuff
for you to check out.
Let's go through the document very quickly the very top you'll see a link to the official course repo.
This has all the completed code for the course.
It also has all the different diagrams that I use throughout the course as well.
And we'll talk more about the diagrams in just a second.
Second we've got a link to the latest no J.S. installer throughout this course forgive me using the
absolute latest cutting edge features of no.
Yes.
And so it's really important that you make sure you have an up to date version of note me personally
making use of version eight point 1.1 throughout the entirety of this course.
If you want to use a newer version and chances are by the time you're watching this video there will
be a newer version that's totally fine.
Just make sure that you're using at least version 8 point 1.1 because I guarantee you you're going to
see some error messages if you're using an older version.
And of course remember that you can always check your version of note by running.
No dash wfie at the command line.
So if you go to.
Out of date version node Jubb on over there grabbed latest installer and just do a quick update.
The next thing I want to talk about is a optional auto formatter for javascript called prettier.
I'm going to be using pretty throughout the course inside of my code editor.
It's 100 percent optional.
You do not have to use this but I do recommend that you use it.
We'll talk more about prettier later on after we write a few files of code and I'll tell you a little
bit about what prettier does and some of the pros and cons around it's use next.
How do you get help throughout this course.
This is a really challenging very advanced course.
I really do expect you're going to run into some issues something that you need a little bit troubleshooting
help with which is totally fine.
I'm here to help you out.
There's a couple of different ways you can get help throughout the course.
The best way bar none.
Without a doubt are the utility discussion threads.
If you are running into an issue I guarantee you you are not the only other per person running into
the same issue.
So there's other people out there.
They're taking the course to the running into these same issues and they're solving them just like you
are.
And so other people are creating discussion threads on human discussion boards.
So if you're running into an issue check the discussion boards see if someone else is ran into the same
issue they might have a solution up there for you there and that you can always reach out to me directly
to me.
So whoops send me a direct message on to me.
I'd be happy to help you out.
The one thing I'm going to tell you is every time you ask me a question I'm almost always going to ask
you for you to show me your code.
So post your code on get hub and send me a link.
It's almost always going to ask you for that.
The next way to get in touch with me is on Twitter.
That's the link right there on Twitter.
You know I'm not the fastest to respond.
Twitter is also not the best for helping with troubleshooting issues but if you you know maybe you post
an issue you'd mean discussion boards you send me a PM and a day goes by and I'm not responding.
Feel free to PM me on Twitter.
And that's just another way to kind of ping me and say hey look I need a little bit of help with this.
Finally I get how this use Boy I got to stop that dragging.
Get her shoes right here.
So get her shoes for the official course repo.
I really do not get good notifications on these.
So I really recommend you do not post issues on get hub but if that's your really preferred way of doing
it fine go for it.
I'll help you out as best I can.
But I do ask you that if you post an issue on get hub please send me a tweet tweet us please PM me something
just because I really don't get very good notifications off a good job.
OK.
So now onto a very exciting thing if you've ever taken one of my courses before you know I use a tremendous
number of diagrams throughout the course.
It's really a strength I think of the course I make because I'm a very visual learner myself and I always
make courses that I would want to take personally.
So in this course I'm really excited because I'm open sourcing all the different diagrams I'm using
throughout the course.
And so you are free to download edit change into whatever you want to do all the different diagrams
throughout the course all the different diagrams are hosted in the official get how Briffault.
And so I've got a copy of it open right here.
It's directory.
You're going to see over time a whole bunch of diagrams fill this thing up as we go throughout the course.
And so right now I've only got a single diagram.
This 001 process but over time you're going to see a lot of different diagrams pop up inside of your
so any time you can hop open open up the diagram you know take a look at what we're looking at.
Copy it printed whatever you want.
Go for it knock yourself out.
It's totally up to you.
Now I'm extra excited in this case however because I've also set up all the different diagrams so you
can edit them on your own by using the same tool that I use to make them in the first place.
So I made use of a tool called draw IO for making the diagrams inside this course and I've included
some directions right here on how you can import all the diagrams that I created for the course and
kind of mess around with them or imitate them do whatever you want inside of the same diagram editor
that I used.
So again I use draw.
I know you'll see all the different diagrams done here at the bottom.
If you open up the diagram file yourself and you could kind of click through them and edit them change
text add nodes whatever it is that you'd like to do.
So really excited about throwing these out here if you have any questions about the diagrams and how
to edit them of course reach out to me as well.
All right.
So that's pretty much it for set up that solve the really administrative stuff that we have to take
care of.
Let's dive into the next section.
We're going to start talking about the application that we're going to be building inside this course.
